[Studio] Addition of new plugins for OpenLDAP
Hi guys,
in the past 2 years, Pierre-Arnaud has worked on some OpenLDAP
configuration plugins for Studio. I intend to inject them into the
default Studio code base next week.
The following plugins have been developped :
- openldap.common.ui : a few classes used by all the other OpenLDAP
dedicated plugins
- openldap.config.editor : quite similar to the configuration editor
available for ApacheDS. It deals with the Openldap cn=config partition,
allowing a user to completely manage the configuration , either with a
started server or a stopped server (in this case, we process the LDIF
files on disk)
- openldap.syncrepl : deal with the replication configuration, with a
drag/drop graphical UI to connect servers together
An additional plugin will be added later :
- template.editor : this is not a dedicated Openldap plugin, but a
modified interface to expose entries. We have defined a set of templates
that describe how the entry layout should be, so that entries are not
only exposed in a tabular way. It's more a beautifier than enything
else. The good part is that you can change the template, and you can for
instance make some fields non-modifiable, expose some, or hide others.
For end users that should not change some of the fileds, that could be
useful.
Anyway, there is still some work to do, and I intend to polish those
plugins in the next few weeks.
Note that we should also take care of the eDirectory plugins that we
have received lately.
Thanks ...

Same thing, we can wait a bit for this merge.

Sounds great! I'd suggest to wait with the injection will we merged back
the branch back to trunk.

Yes, true
